Hello, it’s 'höstlov' (autumn half-term) here in Sweden, and since the clocks went back this weekend, it suddenly feels so much more moody, cosy, and autumnal. Gloves are on, winter coats are making their first appearance, and the world outside is wrapped in gold. There’s that unmistakable damp chill in the air, and candles are glowing even in the middle of the day — the perfect excuse for hearty stews, hot drinks, and a slightly slower pace.
Do you get an autumn break where you are, too?
I’m officially putting down my tools for a few days to spend some time at our cabin — my absolute favourite little place for long walks, a crackling fire, lazy breakfasts, and the odd (very competitive) board game with my family before the crazy school days begin again on Monday.
Wishing you all a lovely long weekend — and a happy Halloween to those celebrating! Leaving you with a few pics from our cabin!
See you on Monday friends!

Your cabin looks to be such a peaceful abode. I hope you have nice autumn weather for your little break! Warmish days and cool, crisp nights are the best! Thank you for sharing! : > )
ReplyDeleteThank you, we had such a lovely, relaxing time :)
DeleteMs. Brantmark, where might I find the beautiful lantern you show on your table? Thank you.
ReplyDeleteThank you, it's a kerosene lamp by Strömshaga - I love these types of lamps in autumn / winter - they are great for outside too!
DeleteWe’re retired and so no need to take a break but we do enjoy a few days away regularly usually not school hols to avoid the crowds. It’s amazing how 2 or three days in a different bed bucks you up. You’ve made your cabin really cosy.
ReplyDeleteSo true, it's about the change of scene :)
DeleteLovely ambiance in your cabin to snugly tuck in and enjoy a break. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much :)
DeleteAdmiring your oak branch and snuggly blankets. Enjoy your time away! My daughter was home from university about a week ago. Each school has a different schedule for midterm break. Thankfully we only have one left in college these days and don't have to work around both schedules.
ReplyDeleteHow lovely to have your daughter home for the autumn break! Luckily my girls (and Per - who's a teacher) all have the same one right now!
DeleteIt felt great to look into, 'my tiny cabin' again. Have a wonderful break! We don't have one, until 11/11- Veterans Day, one day. Beautiful lantern. And the pendant light! Its the same as in the summer cottage kitchen:)
ReplyDeleteThank you, I really love our pendant light and lantern, they make it feel so cosy :) I can't believe you spotted that it's the same one! We actually moved it from the main cottage to our little cabin and have a different one there now - although I wish I could duplicate this one!
DeleteWhat a beautiful, cozy autumn ambiance! Your cabin looks like the perfect retreat for 'höstlov.' I completely agree—there's nothing quite like that crisp, golden autumn air, a crackling fire, and a slightly slower pace. Wishing you and your family a wonderful, relaxing break filled with long walks and competitive board games! Happy Halloween!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much :)
